During the first phase we established the protocols and stan- dards for videotaping and cataloging Holocaust testimonies, and we conducted a program of systematic recording, first in North America, then in Israel, Western Europe, and South America. Modest taping projects in Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus fol- lowed. We also found videotaping partners in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The number of witnesses recorded by Yale and its affiliate projects totals more than 4,000. We will continue to welcome witnesses to our studio at Yale. During these years we accomplished many other tasks. We pioneered the on-line cataloging of the testimonies.

They are the equivalent of flat-earth theorists,” they would insist. “Forget about them.” In truth, I thought the same thing. In fact, when I first heard of Holocaust deniers, I laughed and dismissed them as not worthy of serious analysis. Then I looked more closely and I changed my mind.

  • The Italian Supreme Court Decision on the Ferrini Case
    The European Journal of International Law Vol. 16 no.1 © EJIL 2005; all rights reserved ........................................................................................... State Immunity and Human Rights: The Italian Supreme Court Decision on the Ferrini Case Pasquale De Sena* and Francesca De Vittor** Abstract In the Ferrini case the Italian Supreme Court affirmed that Germany was not entitled to sovereign immunity for serious violations of human rights carried out by German occupying forces during World War II. In order to reach this innovative conclusion, the Court widely referred to international legal arguments, such as the concept of international crimes, the principle of primacy of jus cogens norms and the notion of a strict analogy between state immunity and the ‘functional immunity’ of state officials. Based upon a systematic interpretation of the international legal order, the Court conducted a ‘balancing of values’ between the two fundamental international law principles of the sovereign equality of states and of the protection of inviolable human rights. This article explores the Court’s reasoning and its consistency with international legal theory and preceding case law with the view to verifying whether, and in which sense, the Ferrini judgment may facilitate a radical reappraisal of the relationship between human rights and the law of state immunity. 1 Introduction and Outline The recent judgment of the Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) in Ferrini v. Federal Republic of Germany,1 which asserted Italian jurisdiction over Germany in a case * Professor of International Law, Second University of Naples. ** PhD in International Law, ‘Federico II’ University of Naples and ‘Robert Schuman’ University of Strasbourg.

Sono su questo carro con mio figlio Abele. Se vedete l’altro mio figlio, Caino, figlio dell’uomo, ditegli che io…” Da una scritta ritrovata su un carro ferroviario tedesco. Introduzione Tra il 9 settembre 1943 ed il 2 maggio 1945, date di inizio e fine dell’occupazione tedesca, furono deportati (o uccisi) dall’Italia poco più di 8.000 ebrei, su una popolazione (compresi gli stranieri), di circa 47.000,1 una percentuale paragonabile a quella degli altri paesi dell’Europa occidentale, anche se l’Italia Centro settentrionale fu occupata per molto meno tempo. A Roma, ad esempio, i circa 750 ebrei catturati dopo la razzia del 16 ottobre 1943, furono presi in un arco di tempo di 7 mesi e mezzo: un periodo relativamente breve che conferma l’efficacia degli organi della SiPo-SD nella ex capitale del Regno, nonostante l’esiguo numero delle forze a disposizione. Lo scopo di questo saggio è di descrivere la prassi della persecuzione, per capire quali siano stati i metodi che hanno portato a risultati così tragicamente soddisfacenti per i persecutori.

  • 5. Leonardo Paggi, Ed., Storia E Memoria Di Un Massacro Ordinario
    NOTES I Introduction 1. Egidio Cristini, "II massacro dei trecentoventi," recorded in Rome in 1957 by Roberto Leydi, in the CD Avanti Popo~6--Fischia il vento, lstituto Ernesto de Martino-­ Hobby&Work, 1998. Egidio Cristini was a construction worker and an improviser in the folk poetical tradition of the ottava rima, the eight-line stanza also used by Renaissance poets like Ludovico Ariosto and Torquato Tasso. 2. There never was any such thing as a "Badoglio-Communist." General Pietro Badoglio was prime minister in the king's government after Mussolini's overthrow and the removal of the king and his cabinet to Brindisi, in Southern Italy; the members of the military who stayed behind and were active in the Resistance were called "badogliani." They were monarchists, conservatives and anti-Communists. 3. The Fosse Ardeatine (or Cave Ardeatine as they were then known) were abandoned caves of pozzolana (a "finely divided siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material that reacts chemically with slaked lime at ordinary temperature and in the presence of moisture to form a strong hardening cement," ~bsters College Dictionary). It was used for the mak­ ing of cement and concrete during the construction boom of the 1880s in Rome. 4.
